Brevity Is the Soul of Wit, as Seen in a Carol Burnett Skit

blog3-11I am not one who is known for brevity. Despite this, I was most impressed with the brevity emphasized in the video below of a skit from the old Carol Burnett Show. In the three-and-a-half minute conversation, not a single sentence (until the punch line at the end) contains more than one word!

Really? How?

Watch!

Where?

OK!

The clip goes “a long way” toward showing just how remarkable is our ability to communicate. One word, especially combined with context, tone of voice, and/or gesture(s), can convey far more than we imagine.

It is said that God utters but one word, for the Scriptures say that the “Word” (not Words) became flesh and made His dwelling among us (Jn 1:1-3). Jesus is the one Word, through whom all things came to be and are held together (Col 1:16, 18).

Honestly?

Yes!

Amen?

Amen!
